Genesis 49:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Judah, your brothers will praise you.
Your hand will be on the throat of your enemies.
Your father’s sons will bow down to you.

⁹ Judah is a lion’s cub.
You have gone up from the prey, my son.
He stooped down. He crouched like a lion.
He is like a lioness. Who will provoke him?

¹⁰ The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until the one to whom it belongs comes.^[a]
He will receive the obedience of the peoples.
